IRC Client Suggestions
I asked macsig for some suggestions on what IRC clients to checkout and here's what some people had to say.
Amoreena Myerscough wrote "Colloquy, X-Chat Aqua, Conversation are all good for OS X. One caveat about X-Chat is that the version I tried last year did not recognize /onotice msging, which MIRC and I believe the other two clients do. That may have changed in more recent versions. Conversation is very simple and almost like your typical IM program. X-Chat and Colloquy are more MIRCish in nature."
Kevin Worth said "I've been using Colloquy on recommendation from the Plone.org people. It has worked very well for me."
Andrew Mortensen said "Colloquy is good."
Cameron Hanover said "I spent $15 on ircle years ago, and have gotten my money's worth. xchat aqua is a decent free one, I've heard. I don't think much of Colloquy."
Kris Steinhoff said "I don't use IRC often, but I've used ChatZilla (a Firefox extension) which was OK."
I personally have started to use Conversation and have been very impressed with its ease of use and iChat like interface.
